ICE activity/raids
Cults die with their leader. The silver lining is that once he dies, the American right is going to completely shatter because all they are at this point is an extension of his whims. It seems like we're permanently lost, but look at how fast Germany, Japan, and Italy rebounded from situations that were infinitely worse than ours.

Is this any worse than 8 million other things he's posted in the past week?

A lot harder to identify them in a decade when their Nuremberg happens.

ICE activity/raids
Trump is absolutely begging for a riot. I hope Minneapolis doesn't give him one, because he's just waiting to "take over" they city. Wouldn't shock me if ICE/the administration has undercover agents that will show up to protests and initiate violence.

Foo Fighters or The Killers?
No. It’s also not the best Bush song.

2025 ReliaQuest Bowl - Vanderbilt vs. Iowa
You guys are learning that Kirk Ferentz is a Jedi who can mind trick his opponents into the most bizarre unforced errors imaginable. It’s absolutely incredible how frequently Iowa benefits from just the absolute most bone headed shit. I can’t see what they’re doing to make it happen, but it can’t be luck. Ergo, Ferentz = Jedi

There are probably 20 Foo songs I like better than My Hero.

Is this the end of shitty bowl games?
The solution is to make players employees, and make bowl participation part of their enforceable contract. Or instead of giving players trinkets, give them half of the money the school/conference gets from being in it. That would immediately solve the problem. Bowls have always been meaningless exhibitions. The difference is that 40 years ago, the media told you how much they mattered, so everyone bought into that. For the last 20 years we've beaten over the head with the message that there's too many, they don't matter, and the only thing that matters is being the national champion. Eventually (players first, then fans) enough people bought into that messaging and here we are. Bowls are something to have on in the background in a slow time of year. They get excellent ratings as a result, and it's more football. On top of that, it makes college football one of the few sports where someone other than the champion has an opportunity to end the season on a high note. Having my team opt out of a bowl game this year has made me realize how much I did actually care about the last part.

Left Behind: A Quick Dose Of Post Big 12 Reality
Their coach left, and the AD didn’t hire the guy they wanted. This isn’t a Big 12 thing, and more a “there are literally no rules in college football thing”. My guess is we end up with a shitload of Washington State’s guys.

Foo Fighters or The Killers?
I absolutely love the Doll>Monkey Wrench sequence to start. The end run starting at February Stars is stunning. New Way Home is an absolutely elite album closer. Even the throwaway stuff like See You is great.

Foo Fighters or The Killers?
There are moments of Killers songs that I absolutely love (the back half of "All These Things I've Done" is perfect), and I feel like I should love Sam's Town - but I just have never gotten it to take root. But Colour & The Shape is a nearly perfect rock album. It's better than a lot of other bands I like's best work. And there have been plenty of shitty Foo Fighter songs since (and plenty fucking great ones too), but that album is an incredible mix of all of it's influences. There's punk. There's 70's arena rock. There's wistful singer/songwriter folk. There's grunge. Sometimes it's all in the same song. It's a staggering record. My hottest musical take is that it's the best record Dave Grohl ever participated in making. Certainly not the most important. Certainly not the most popular. Certainly not the most influential. It doesn't get it's due credit, in large part because Grohl never really pushed the envelope stylistically, and because he never topped it. It's just so god damn good.

Non-Texas weather. The all-encompassing thread
-30 is my record. I was getting up every 3-4 hours in the middle of the night to start our vehicles and let them run.

Popular comedians that are not funny. I’ll start : Bert Kreischer
Tom Segura. He used to be funny. His head is so far up his own ass nowadays.

National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation
Clark and Eddie's interactions are always the funniest shit to me. In the earlier movies, there's a sense of genuine concern on Clark's part that eventually morphs into the deadpanned, muted hatred you see in Christmas Vacation. And it all just bounces right off Eddie.

Chefs leaving KCMO for KCKS
It looks like Jerry World fucked the Vikings stadium and had a baby. Which given KC being the midpoint between those cities on I-35 is kinda fitting.
